Number eight Phil Dowson is one of three uncapped players in England's starting XV to face Scotland in their Six Nations opener on Saturday.
Dowson is picked ahead of Scarlets' Ben Morgan, who is a replacement, by interim England coach Stuart Lancaster.
Brad Barritt and Owen Farrell will also make their debuts, while Saracens team-mate Charlie Hodgson plays at fly-half in place of the injured Toby Flood.
Another Saracen, David Strettle, makes his comeback to the side on the wing.
England side to face Scotland
Ben Foden; Chris Ashton; Owen Farrell, Brad Barritt, David Strettle; Charlie Hodgson; Ben Youngs; Alex Corbesierio, Dylan Hartley, Dan Cole; Maurice Botha, Tom Palmer; Tom Croft, Chris Robshaw (c), Phil Dowson.
